The Other Art Fair Weekend
What a weekend.
Huge thanks to everyone who made it over to the fair! It was so lovely to meet and talk to new and old friends. My voice needs a few days to recover!
The venue was insane. The first day I got lost on a number of occasions, it was just a massive, magical maze of art everywhere.
very necessary.
I ended up running out of postcards on the final day, which was a bit of a bummer but also exciting to know 250 people were interested in what I make!
It was just so good to bring all the new work out into the light of day and really talk to people about it. Sometimes in my studio I feel like I’m just shouting into a void, so being able to have a conversation about the choices in the pieces was invaluable. Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by. I will be taking a few days off here to recover from the party, but will be back with more art soon.
The Other Art Fair; Sneak Peek at the Work
Popping in here with a few little sneak peeks into the work in progress (+ basic prep) for The Other Art Fair - Chicago Edition.
I am really, really excited to share these new pieces.
The preparations for the show are proceeding on schedule; I’ve got my red dot stickers, acrylic placards for info, new postcards (see above!), chairs are arriving next week… I’m in pretty good shape I think.
And I ordered a new faux leather jacket for the show too. I left my old one on a plane back from Berlin - never to be seen again unfortunately.
I’m feeling prepared - but mostly just so, so excited to get these new pieces on display and get to finally talk about them.
The next sneak peek/update should involve the work with the saber saw… keep your eyes peeled!
Material Experiments - show closing recap
All good things must come to an end.
And as such, Material Experiments came down this week.
I signed on to do this show back in October, and decided within the first few days I would use this opportunity to share some of the new mixed-media pieces I’ve been working on with the community. All experimental, adventures in layering and paint viscosity, examinations of brushstroke and texture. It was a little frightening for me personally as it was a bit of a departure from my previous work - but I strongly believe in following my creative impulses - therein lies the basis of my work.
So thank you, thank you to everyone who came out to see the show, attended my talk for the opening, purchased work or just sent good vibes from afar. It was a fantastic 3 months and I am just so overwhelmed with gratefulness for all the people that have supported me and my work.
Special thanks to my studio assistant for popping over while I was out of town to mark pieces sold too.
AND! Humongous thanks to the whole team at Cahoots for the help in making this show happen. It was so amazing to have my work in the space.
Group Show in NYC!
New York friends!
I’ve got two pieces on view (Forte and Motion Study Brushwork 1) during this group show in the Flatiron district in New York. The theme of the show is pure abstraction - and I am SO honored to be among the artists in this collection.
The opening night is March 17th at The Yard North. I was hoping to be able to get out there for what will be a fantastic party, but just wasn’t able to make it happen unfortunately.
Can’t make it out for the opening either? The show is up until July!
Upcoming Show: The Other Art Fair Chicago!
I’m thrilled to announce I’ve been accepted into the 2023 Chicago line up for The Other Art Fair.
I’ll be showing several new collections in my booth (number to be announced soon) and *hopefully* the start/proof of concept for a new project I’m very excited about. The new project requires the use of a saber saw. I am so pumped.
As always I’ll document the process over on instagram, but I may send out some more thorough examinations of the work via my email list, so make sure you’re subscribed here.
